Darcy the dragon– 43

Darcy the dragon


Darcy has some big milestones ahead of her before reaching her fifth birthday. She’s aiming to perfect her
fireba breathing without se"ing her clothes on fire and unlike Biie, who is more focused on flight pa"erns,
Darcy is working on her endurance and hopes to fly at least 50 meters before having to stop and rest.
However, her practice is often delayed as she’s totay engro#ed in reading “Ha$y Po"er and %e Goblet of Fire”.
